"Click, click, click..."
From time to time there was a noise in the woods, and a figure carrying a basket was seen climbing to the tree on the left, then to the tree on the right, reaching out to pick black fruits from the branches.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the woods and began to pick materials.
After working for a while, there were more and more black fruits in the basket on my back.
When the sun was about to rise, he finally filled the basket on his back with black fruits.
"call……"
The mission was completed. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead let out a sigh of relief and felt relaxed all over.
Ever since I left the camp after breakfast yesterday morning, my spirit has been tense until now. It was not until I completed the task that I relaxed my body and mind.
After completing the mission this time, the next step is to immediately set off back to the camp.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, looked up at the ray of sunshine that appeared on the horizon.
He knew that the sun would rise next, and after dawn, those hateful Blue Star people would come out for activities. In order to avoid meeting them head-on, he had to hurry up and leave this place immediately.
He stepped forward, striding forward towards a location far away from the Blue Star people's residence.
The pig-headed captain, carrying a bag full of black fruits and a brown birthmark on his forehead, left the woods after a while.
When his figure disappeared into the snow in the distance, half of the sun in the sky had revealed its face, and the golden sunlight tore through the darkness and enveloped the earth.
Although the rising sun cannot bring a lot of warmth to this snow-covered forest, it is freezing now. For the creatures living in the forest, something is better than nothing. How much warmth can be provided.
The originally quiet human camp gradually became noisy after the sun rose. Many people could be seen walking out of the sleeping rooms and heading towards the canteen.
The skilled chef prepared a lot of delicious breakfast for everyone. In this harsh cold weather, the steaming hot breakfast made all the investigators staying in this remote stronghold feel very good.
The investigators who had a delicious breakfast left the cafeteria in a good mood, and a boring and boring day began.
Two researchers from the Psychic Research Institute, escorted by investigators, went to the strange woods they had a look at yesterday.
When they arrived at their destination, they suddenly found something was wrong.
"It's strange. I remember that there were some black fruits hanging on this tree yesterday. Why did they disappear after one night?" The female researcher looked at the big tree with black fruits she had seen yesterday and said.
.
"There are footprints there." The male researcher suddenly pointed to the footprints appearing in the snow in the distance and said to the people around him.
At this time, everyone looked in the direction pointed by his finger, and indeed found many footprints in the snow, and everyone walked over.
"These footprints are human footprints. Did anyone come here to patrol last night?" the female investigator said, looking at the footprints on the ground that were obviously not animal footprints.
The investigators who came here to protect them for research looked at each other, and one of them frowned and didn't say anything.
"The patrols we arranged did not extend to this area, especially after the sun goes down, and it is even less likely that people will come here."
"Then these footprints..." the female researcher thought for a moment and said in a whimsical tone, "could it be that they were left by pig-headed people."
"Probably not! After the pig-headed man was beaten by us, he is now hiding in Tibet. How dare he show his trace like this, and this place is so close to our stronghold."
One investigator found the female researcher's claim unlikely.
"Although I also think that the possibility of a pig-headed man coming here last night is very small, but we are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, we still have to take this matter seriously.
If there really were pig-headed men who came here last night, they would look for an opportunity to launch an attack on the stronghold in the future if they are not protected." the male researcher reminded.
The investigators nodded, and then one of them said, "I will report this matter. You can continue to study, but you must pay attention to one thing..."
After saying that, the investigator turned around and ran towards the stronghold. The people who stayed at the scene began to protect the two research institutes as they entered the woods.
When a group of people approached the woods, ugly faces immediately appeared on the trunks of the big trees outside, and vines were swinging, ready to attack everyone in front of them.
Two experienced researchers looked at the moving tree. One of them took out a spiritual weapon from the backpack on his back and activated it.
After the palm-sized aura was activated, a light golden aura first appeared, and then it emitted a stream of spiritual power.
The strange, restless tree that was affected by the spiritual power emitted by the aura fell into a drowsy state as if under a hypnotic spell. Within a few seconds, the ugly face growing on the trunk disappeared and turned into an ordinary tree.
appearance.
The investigators who were protecting the two researchers saw that the strange big tree with its teeth and tiger claws became quiet, and looked at the activated spiritual weapon in the female researcher's hand in surprise. At this time, they heard the other party explain with a smile.
"This spiritual weapon can put non-human creatures into drowsiness within a certain range."
With the aid of a spiritual weapon that can put the strange tree into sleep, there is little that the investigators who can protect the two researchers can do.
Next, they only need to patrol the surrounding situation, and there is no need to take action against the angry and strange tree.
Because the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, picked a lot of black fruits in the woods last night, the strange big trees in a large area were devoid of black fruits.
The two researchers who entered the woods to conduct research, under the protection of the investigators, came to the depths of the woods.
Finally they saw a big tree with black fruits, and then the two researchers began to take out some equipment from their backpacks to conduct research.
While the two researchers were studying the strange big tree and the black fruits on the big tree, the investigator who had returned to the base to report the discovery of suspicious footprints in the woods had also reported what he had seen to his superiors.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, the person in charge of the stronghold immediately sent some people to search the surrounding areas.
A team of investigators followed the footprints in the snow and ran for more than ten kilometers. They did not stop until the footprints disappeared.
The disappearance of the footprints also meant that the clues were gone. With no other gains, the investigators began to return.
Apart from the footprints, nothing else was discovered, which forced the person in charge of the stronghold to remind his subordinates to be more vigilant, and the rest was as usual.
…………
It was still sunny in the morning, but towards noon, the sky began to become overcast, and a cold wave descended on the forest, making the weather in the forest unpredictable.
The pig-headed captain, who carried a basket of black fruits and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was walking in the snow. When he left the woods in the morning, he walked a few kilometers and began to pay attention to the footprints he left.
It took a while to deal with the traces left behind, which also made subsequent investigators follow the footprints but failed to obtain any useful results.
"call……"
The wind was blowing violently, and the cold wind coming from all directions made people shiver.
Some of the surrounding trees with snow hanging on them were shaken violently by the wind, and a lot of snow was shaken off, and a thick layer of snow piled up on the ground.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was going to snow soon. After walking more than ten kilometers, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found that the sky above his head had become a little darker.
After looking around in all directions, I saw no living creatures.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, stood there with a frown on his face. While he was thinking, snowflakes fell from the thick dark clouds in the sky.
When a small snowflake fell from the sky and landed on the nose of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, it quickly melted, and the cold feeling brought him back to his senses while he was thinking about the problem.
"It's snowing. I can't continue walking now. I have to find a place to avoid the snow. Otherwise, I will probably freeze to death in the snow."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead didn't think he could carry the heavy snow back in the snow just because he was pretty strong.
He made a decision, and then quickly looked for a cave to hide from the wind and snow in the distance.
Pieces of snowflakes fell from the sky. After a while, these small snowflakes turned into heavy snow like goose feathers.
The wind was howling, and the snowflakes blown by the wind blurred the sky and the earth, making it impossible to see very far.
Carrying a basket on his back, he braved the wind and snow to find a place to hide from the wind and snow. The body of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was getting colder and colder. His hands were clenched tightly, his head was slightly lowered, and his eyes were squinted.
Look far into the distance.
There was a small hill ahead. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead noticed it and immediately quickened his pace.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and a lot of snowflakes fell on my head, clothes, and baskets. My body felt colder and colder, and my hands were still a little stiff.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, knew that his health was getting worse and worse due to the cold snow and wind, and he had to quickly escape from this terrible snow and wind.
When they came to the short hill, they searched around him and found no cave. This made the body a little unbearable from the cold wind and snow. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt very sad.
disappointment.
At this time, the trend of wind and snow is getting stronger and stronger. It is obviously a bad decision to continue to brave the wind and snow to find shelter elsewhere.
Therefore, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead decided not to look for shelter elsewhere.
"Since there is no cave, then I will dig a cave myself." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered.
Then, he began to dig into the hillside with a small shovel he carried.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a mid-level third-level strength and a brown birthmark on his forehead, dug with all his strength, and soon dug a small hole in the hillside that could accommodate him.
Looking at the dug cave, the pig-headed captain let out a long sigh of relief with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
He picked up the basket that was about to be covered by heavy snow, pushed the snow away from the surface, and then hid in the small hole he dug.
A strong wind roared outside the pit, and white snowflakes were flying in all directions. More and more snow was piled on the ground, and soon a thick layer was piled up.
If someone stepped on such snow, the snow would reach above his knees.
Hiding in the hole he dug, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt very warm.
Of course, the warmth he felt now was only compared to when he was hit by the wind and snow outside just now. It felt very warm, but it was actually still very cold.
"Staying in the cave like this, even though I'm protected from the wind and snow, it's still very cold. I have to make a fire to keep warm!"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, made up his mind to light a fire to keep warm. He took a deep breath and ran out in the hole he dug.
Braving the wind and snow, he came to a large tree that he had seen earlier that had fallen to the ground due to dryness.
There was a clicking sound, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead broke off many branches from the dry tree.
He returned to the hole he dug with the dry branches he collected.
Put the branches aside, and then take out some to light a fire. After a while, the fire rose, with orange flames beating and spreading warm heat around.
His somewhat stiff hands from the cold were placed on the fire. The heat generated by the fire gradually made his somewhat stiff hands return to normal.
"The weather is so miserable. If I hadn't dug a hole here decisively to avoid the wind and snow, I might have frozen to death in the snow."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was warming himself by the fire while looking at the terrible weather of wind and snow outside the pit, murmuring to himself.
It was now noon. The cold and hungry pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead immediately took out the dry food, threaded the frozen hard dry food with branches, and roasted it on the fire.
The alluring aroma spread, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly took off the grilled sizzling and oily meat strips and ate them with relish.
After eating greasy barbecue strips, the degree of warmth in the body is completely incomparable to that before not eating enough.
Leaning back, leaning against the earth wall behind him, he let out a light, cheerful cry.
"comfortable……"
